West Ham United are reportedly targeting a high-profile summer swoop for Aston Villa’s attacking midfielder Jacob Ramsey. The 23-year-old, widely regarded as one of England’s most promising midfield talents, has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, but it’s the Hammers who are now emerging as serious contenders.
Sources close to the London club suggest West Ham are preparing a formal approach for Ramsey, whose creativity, drive, and Premier League experience align with Julen Lopetegui’s vision for a revamped midfield. With Lucas Paquetá’s future uncertain amid ongoing transfer links abroad, Ramsey is seen as a potential successor in the attacking engine room.
Ramsey made 26 appearances for Villa last season, contributing with important goals and assists despite battling injuries. Villa, who value him highly, are expected to resist any approach unless a significant offer—believed to be in excess of £35 million—is made.
West Ham’s interest underlines their intent to compete strongly in both domestic and European competitions, and adding a player of Ramsey’s calibre would mark a major statement of ambition this summer. Negotiations are not yet underway, but developments are expected in the coming weeks.
